From John Keller:
New squad-style trucks for two of the OFI cars, looks like they’re trying to get them out of the buggies into a more suitable rig.

The mini pumpers are assigned to Logistics-special events

As11,
They are still in the city, their purpose was specifically for special events as rapid response units. They’re stored in one of two places where specialty rigs are stored which is the Special Ops and Support Services warehouse or the Supply and Logistics Division building.

This just came to mind looking at this rig but has anyone seen, heard, know of anything about the two mini fouts pumpers

Mike L,
It had to have been the old rig as these are not in service yet, I don’t know when they’ll go into service my guess is a month or so

Did 4-6-8 wreck the old or new rig last week? Front wheel was hit and damaged. Had to be towed.

I believe so the maintenance of CPD vehicles is split between here and their motorpool at 52nd and Wentworth, where they also work on CFDs buggies.
If I’m not wrong the 2fm shop at 69th and Wentworth doesn’t do normal cars so CPD picks up the slack and does CFD buggies.

Don’t laugh too hard Rich. Oak Lawn Squad 1 was the pride of the south suburbs and went everywhere. Now they’re in a pick up truck chasing ambos.

Nice to know the city is now safer with these rather than buying new fire rigs

Is that a patty wagon next to it?

4-6-8 is also being replaced with an identical rig.
